Roughly legends scale 11.7 CM or ~4.6 in.

Should be shipping in Mid-April.
Price is 269 CNY = ~ $40 - I expect $50-55 at international retailers.

Revealed at TFCON Chicago 2022 alongside a Bumblebee.

For legends scale the Prime is okay (the alt mode is not good). Thought random that these are legends scalled. I do wish they where SS scaled cause I don’t think that Bee looks half bad.

 

That Prime alt-mode looks so bad it may as well be an official Core Class one :S

 

The alt mode is pretty ropey as others have said, but bot mode looks pretty decent, barring the weird feet. I'll get this just for the uniqueness of having this design at legends scale tbh. Hopefully it'll have a premium paint job like Haiku.

 

Like the idea of doing small movie bots, but these two designs have been done to death already, IMO so unless it's a really great figure I don't know if I need one.

 

I like it. I don't mind the truck mode. I just called it a Cybertronian truck.

I think it looks great. I’ve thought for a good while how much I’d love to see Newage style Legends for Movie characters. Obviously the engineering will make it a harder task, and at that scale I am fine with comprimises.

 

That actually looks a lot better than the render IMO! Looking forward to seeing it fully painted.

 

Interesting..... different truck front and robot chest...
Could it be like a ginrai transformation? Or probably inside out transformation...
Smokestacks turned upside down in truck mode...
I like it so far.

 

If I ever get this instead of the Lucky cat one, I´d mode the truck front to match the robot mode chest - alieast adding that sun visor over the windshield...

Anyway, either this or LC will have to do unless someone makes a legends IDW Prime which I lost hope at this point.

 

From TFCON LA 2023:

 

Love it

 

Wow awesome! I think I will have to get this little guy for sure.

 

Love it. It’s great to see that all the compromises were made in vehicle mode so the robot mode can be perfect.

 

So gonna get this and the inevitable nemesis repaint.

 

Love most of it, though the fake chest windows weren't needed, could have done like all other ones and kept the robot chest for windshield.

But still best legends prime so far!

 

I had that same thought, but the thing is they look really different in robot mode, with that extra red piece right above the windows.

 

This leg's handling one is really good

 

But you know what that means... Matrix Of Leadership Baby!!!!! WOOHHHH
